General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Referrals vary with each individual insurance company. It is the patients’ responsibility to understand the rules and regulations of their individual policy. Each referral request must be approved by your primary care physician (PCP) prior to your visit to a specialist. In order to obtain a referral a patient must be seen by their PCP for an evaluation or we must have documented information from your specialist as to your specific medical problem. We require at least 48 hours (2 business days) prior notification to process a referral. WE DO NOT ISSUE RETROACTIVE REFERRALS, except in the case of a medical emergency. The referral process is a requirement of your insurance company and ensures patients a continuity of care.
• Family Practice
  Dr. Shupack, a graduate of Texas A&M's School of Medicine, has been practicing at Mechanicsville Medical Center since 1998. He completed his residency at the Medical College of Virginia's Chesterfield Family Practice and is Board Certified in Family Medicine.
• Emergency Care
  Although we encourage patients to make appointments when at all possible, we do understand that certain circumstances may arise that prevent this such as sudden illness or emergencies. For this reason, we offer walk-in hours from 8AM to 11AM and 2PM to 4PM M-F. If you would like to see the doctor of your choice, you must sign in at least 30 minutes prior to the end of the walk-in session or you will be seen by the first available provider. We also have walk-in visit hours for urgent care issues from 5PM to 7PM M-F, 9AM to 12 Noon on Sat, and 10AM to 12 Noon on Sunday. Holiday hours will be determined by the physician on call. Night, weekend, and holiday visits may be subject to an additional charge. Our doctors are on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year for urgent medical issues. In order to speak to our physician on call when the office is closed, call our main number and you will be transferred to the doctors’ exchange.

• Mental Health
  If you use email to send any information, especially personal health information, you should be aware that you take the responsibility for: any unauthorized intercept, risk of electronic viruses, risk of unauthorized redistribution, and intercept and review by your employer if using employer e-mail services. Consider carefully the risk of using e-mail especially when sending information regarding, but not limited to, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS/HIV, mental health, developmental disability, or substance abuse.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  We have found it necessary to institute a charge for the completion of most ancillary forms, such as insurance forms, back to work forms, disability forms, employment forms, etc. which are out of the course of the ordinary medical care of our patients. The charge for this process will be $5 per page. This charge does not apply to forms that would normally be completed at the time of service (Ex: School Physicals and Sports Physicals).
